# Zoning Board of Appeals 10-15-2026


**Body:** City of Norwalk Connecticut
**Date:** October 14, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The City of Norwalk Zoning Board of Appeals met virtually on October 15, 2026. The board considered 10 Willard Apartments LLC’s appeal of a cease-and-desist order concerning workforce-housing rent limits. The dispute centered on whether separately charged parking fees must be included in the reported monthly rent; city staff and the Corporation Counsel supported including them under the applicable state and local rules, while the applicant argued that optional parking should be excluded. The board voted 4–1 to support the city’s enforcement position and deny the appeal. Members also raised questions about accessible parking, but treated those concerns as outside the issue before them.

The board heard an application for a special exception to change the nonconforming use at 25 Butler Street from manufacturing to storage of non-street-legal race vehicles, with accessory office space. The applicant described building and streetscape improvements, including a stated alteration cost of $49,774 against an assessed building value of $220,280; no board decision on this application appears in the transcript. The board also approved prior meeting minutes, with three votes in favor and two abstentions. No procurement activity, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified.
